Everyone has to make a living, maybe if he can backdate the policy, or

call the Cobra people, its worth some phone calls.



75 REPU- do you remember that episode of Taxi ?

hope it all works out phins... if you end up having to fork over a big wad of cash, throw a paypal link up here... I'd be more than happy to contribute, as I'm sure a bunch other people would be too

scott, I am also willing to paypal you what I can, which won't be much.



With the threat of SARS and bio-terrorism, i cannot blame the hospital for taking all the extra measures they did, i know it was scary, but that is what they had to do



May your wife have a speedy, safe recovery

Phins, best of luck to your wife and to you.



Check with your old policy as well, sometimes the coverage

you pay for is for the following month.



My wife suggested finding out if these problems could be

work related (does your wife do home health care maybe?).



Just some ideas to possibly ease the burden.



If it's your *** on the line, don't hesitate to throw a PayPal

up. It might only be $20, but 20x6000 is pretty high.

Well I will give what little update I can. They really don't know what it is from what I can tell, I have heard from one dr that it could be a staff infection and from another some odd skin infection that I have never heard of the, the dermotologist came today, pretty much said she had never seen anything like it and left. Amy wants to go home REALLY bad, she's incredibly uncomfortable, most of the sores have started to burst, then they scab over and fill again behind the scabs, hard to explain, but incredibly painful. At this point she is still listed as critical, but I don't really know what the means, seams there are people in that section with a flu in critical and some on their last leg. She was ini resonably good spirits today, she is still a little dehydrated, but she finally did go to the bathrrom today which is a good sign. My guess is she's there till the end of the week, Thursday I have to take my dad to another hospital, they are going to put a stint in one of his arteries, so the week just keeps getting better (he has great insurance, so just a little worrysome).



I called and emailed the insurance guy today, he still hasn't called me back, the COBRA thing says in bold that insurance does not start until they have processed the from, so that one is screwed, I am keeping my fingers crossed on the insruance guy being able to do something. Hell I'd be happy at this point if they would cover the outpatient bills as I assume there will be plenty. I applied to medicade for some help, they seemed to think there was a chance since I am unemployed. I am trying hard not to think about the money situation, it seems that it should be the least of my worries and yet it does add to the burden, I keep thinking of all the stupid **** I spend my money on and how I wish I hadn't, but I guess what's done is done.



I am going to head in late afternoon tomorrow, need to do some laundry and try to get some sleep. I crashed out on some sleeping pills last night and they still didn't help much, I just keep thinking about how quickly this all came on, in like 7 hours it got incredibly bad.



This turned out to be a long post, thanks everyone for you support and well wishes, it means a TON.
